Hello! I'm Melinda Benz, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. Are you interested in starting or modifying a plant-based or vegan lifestyle for your health, animal welfare, the environment, or all of the above?
From common plant-based and vegan-related questions, such as "Where do you get your protein?", “How do you meet calcium needs for bone health?" or "Aren’t vegan diets too restrictive?" can make the abundance of nutrition information out there feel overwhelming when trying to make sustainable eating habits and lifestyle changes.

Most of my clients come to me to lose weight, but often we discover other health issues that are causing the weight issues, such as, chronic inflammation, chronic stress, toxic overload, and gastrointestinal issues, such as, poor digestion and absorption of foods. It is my goal to understand someone's whole health story and discover the root cause of some of their health issues. I provide individualized treatment plans for each of my clients, and I allow them to decide what they are ready to take on with my support, expert guidance, and counseling.

I’m a Naturopathic Doctor. My focus is working with people who are struggling with chronic symptoms/disease, chronic inflammation and autoimmunity. This could be a 22 year old with IBS and anxiety, a 42 woman in perimenopause with a mysterious skin rash, or a 60 year old with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Chronic disease can be any number of clearly diagnosed diseases or it can be the messy mishmash of vague, nagging symptoms (ex: fatigue, digestive upset, acne, hair loss, pain, etc..) that make you feel bad, but your MD says all your lab tests are "normal" and then offers you an antidepressant.

Are you struggling to make healthy choices? I too found it difficult to pass up the sugar in lieu of something "green" and/or "healthy." It took me many baby steps of meeting many small health goals over time to succeed.

Come work with me to explore root causes to your discomfort and dis-ease. I work with clients in person and via Zoom.

Do you feel like something is off in your body, but you can’t get clear answers? Maybe you’re dealing with bloating, constipation, diarrhea, food sensitivities, fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, or thyroid concerns like Hashimoto’s. Have been told your labs are “normal,” yet you still don’t feel like yourself.
For many women in midlife, these symptoms are connected. When digestion is not working well, the body may struggle to absorb and use key nutrients. When minerals are depleted or out of balance, energy, metabolism, sleep, mood, digestion, and stress resilience can all be affected.
